Emily Ransdell- Faith Confirmation Project

EMILY RANSDELL-

 St John's Dover, Delaware

Emily recently shared her Faith project 

with members and guests at her home church

 of St. John's Lutheran Church in Dover, Delaware.

On confirmation weekend-

other students in the program

 are encouraged to share a 

piece of the journey of their story.

Show and tell-

about Bible Journaling 

The Display information answered 

some basic questions about 

Emily's Visual Faith practice.

She uses some color coding 

for her time reading Scripture.

This is Emily's Inspire Bible.

It has some images in the margins

 that are all ready to add coloring.

Emily shares a bit about her journey.

"The act of coloring helps me to pay attention.

This practice has helped me
 to feel closer to God,

and strengthen my faith.

I find that I simply 

think about God more."

To encourage others to try

 Bible Journaling Emily says:

"don't add pressure on yourself,

because nothing is perfect.

And it can bring such JOY!"

Emily is encouraged by both of her parents
 to explore Visual faith expression.

 Her father  (and pastor)  is Rev. CJ. Ransdell.

 He has been a Visual Faith encourager since he began ministry.

Mom- Melinda is a graphic designer and serves as a Visual Faith Coach.
